Blackett, Christie and our biggest spend in 14 years

846

Tyler Blackett’s arrival, announced moments before halftime on Saturday, was welcome. He’ll immediately push Izzie, who has had no real competition for the left back berth since arriving at Celtic five years ago – an incredible situation.

The Ryan Christie situation surprised me. Ryan performed well against a Celtic defence in a state of flux earlier this month, as he has done previously against us, but it will certainly a curious signing (this morning Inverness Caledonian Thistle announced they have accepted a bid from Celtic).  More on these two later.

As for rumours that we’re about to spend more money on a player than we have since John Hartson arrived 14 years ago……. Well, that is a change of pace. On top of this business, I’m sure there will be more comings and goings in defence, and elsewhere.  Stay tuned……..

Thanks to everyone who entered the raffle for the Golf Day for four at Aberdour.  Taggsy informed the winner (Gerry) by email this morning.

    I don’t like it when the wee horses hurt their knees when their bottles crash at the jumps ..

     

     

    But you canny beat a felicity or farquar .. Flying through the air ..

     

     

    Tally hoo, Gideon

  4. I can exclusively reveal that the left field surprise striker signing option is none other than Martyn Wagskelper Waghorn.

     

     

    Well, you don’t think we can afford James Tavern eer…ier…ear…eery, did you?

     

     

    I can’t wait for the window to close and we can get back to working the squad on the training pitch again.

     

     

    We have lost 3 big players in Wanyama, Forster and VVD. We have lost a good few reliable squad men too in Ki, Ledley and Matthews. Every year is a re-building job for a predated-upon club like ours.

    Not a bad shout if big Virgil doesn’t go he is far too good a player to play centre half he could easily be Yaya Toure type midfielder or striker.

    Sounds familiar ???

    The documents did not arrive on time!!!!!! Presentation was ready. All agreed. But as it stands de Gea stays at MUFC!!

  7. the glorious balance sheet on

    cant help but think the rules will be bent to allow Real Madrid to get de gea, missed deadline or no

     

     

    reminiscent of the time the huns signed stevie Naismith, seeimgly the sfa office stayed open until 1.30 am to push it through, “deadline, what deadline? no all above board, honest guv, papers were definitely here on time”

     

     

    Our tie-in with Zagreb is very intriguing. On one hand it makes us even more pushed to cash in on players as Zagreb will want their cut, so adds to the churn and turnover in the squad; more worries for future European qualifiers especially factoring in the departure and arrival of other players, the annual stock of loanees etc.

     

     

    By the same token though this is a bit out the box thinking and Zagreb do tend to produce some cracking players, so it could work well for us

     

     

    as I say an interesting development

    Gotta love wee Angela Merkel .. Most powerful woman in europe .. Telling Cameron to go and fcuk himself .. When he asked her to declare her support for British nationalism last year ..

     

     

    What a wuman :)

  9. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    I don’t know who that is .. But I reckon he’d fantasize about giving her pleasure with a miniature exocet missile.

  10. I remember reading about Derk’s injuries before he came.

     

     

    1) I would love to see the medical report sent to Celtic.

     

     

    2) Either the Medical didn’t pick his injuries or we took an unacceptable risk.

     

     

    Given the money involved lessons need to be learned.

     

     

    HH,

  11. I’d love for a rattled chuckles to come out and say… ‘for the record’

     

     

    There was no incubator. ..

     

    There was no business and club separation…

     

    The club died

  12. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

    BGX .. Who was it ??

     

     

    Distant ship smoke on the horizon ..

     

     

    Old French President ?

     

     

    Your lips move .. But I can’t hear what youir saaaaaying!!

     

     

    There is no pain, you are receiding…

  13. the glorious balance sheet on

    Tonev has got a move to Serie A with Frosinone. Italian football must be going down the pan.

  14. Careful With That Tax, Moonbeams on

  17. My wonderful husband once had lunch with the Jedward twins on a dirigible and foiled an SNP by election plot in the same afternoon.

     

     

    You have no idea how brilliant my man is and what you’re up against.
